First Glimpse Gives Back
In just the last 3 years, FGU has given back to our amazing community in so many ways. We've supported local school team and academic programs, sponsored local athletics, and volunteered in community service. Our staff volunteers at places like the Marion House, the El Paso County Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition, team coaching, and church groups. We have a huge passion for those who serve our community as well. We provide free ultrasounds regularly to our military, through giveaways, and with our local OB offices. Just last year, we donated more than $4000 in free ultrasounds.
About My Story
Warm Family Friendly Environment
At First Glimpse Ultrasound, we wanted our families to come and feel comfortable with the truly unique experience they were to have here and so we designed the atmosphere as we did our home. We welcome families and friends into our studios where they can come experience a miraculous first glimpse and see how truly beautiful babies already are.
Each of our offices features a comfortable waiting area for you and your guests as well as a large viewing room where the action takes place. While we can comfortably seat 10-12, we welcome all who you would like to bring. Try to beat our record of 40!
Meet Our Staff
SHERY - ultrasound tech/specialist, Certified Phlebotomist - Owner
First Glimpse Ultrasound is owned and operated by Shery, mother of 3 boys and one lucky daughter through marriage (actually, Shery is the lucky one) and her husband, Ke. She loves bringing the miracle of 2D, 3D/4D and HD ultrasound, early gender determination and prenatal bonding to the growing families of Colorado at First Glimpse Ultrasound. Shery has been performing scans since 2007 and has seen more than 24,000 babies and has a special knack for early gender determinations. Shery is also a consultant around the country, teaching others the "art of 4D". With her drive, she continues to be the first to offer Colorado the latest in what's happening in the industry. First Glimpse was the first with HD and the first to bring early gender blood testing to Colorado. Watch for what's next!
VANESSA, RT(R)- ultrasound tech/specialist, Lead tech - Manager
Vanessa joined us May 2015 and is raising 3 children of her own (so far). She comes to us with an extensive background in X-ray and customer service. Did you know she can eat an entire large pizza in one sitting all by herself!
CAITLYN - ultrasound tech/specialist
Caitlyn joined the FGU team May 2019. She is passionate about being a part of us because she is also a mom and came to us with her little one. It's hard to keep up with Caitlyn's sunny disposition. You will love her as much as we do. She loves taking selfies...be sure to ask to take one with her!
ABIE - ultrasound tech/specialist
We welcomed Abie summer 2018. Abie has been attending school for nursing recently in addition to working full time for a home health company. While she doesn't have any children of her own yet, she loves to hear all about your pregnancy.
ITZEL - client relations specialist
You will see her greet you at the front desk or answering the phone. She is also in charge of our Spanish speaking line. Don't be surprised if you invite her to be a part of your family, too! She is outgoing and sure to make you smile as you check in with her famous snaughling.
Our Equipment
We use only GE ultrasound products. Currently we use the GE E8 Expert in order to provide the highest quality 3D/4D and now the NEW HDLive. The images we can provide you are the clearest 2D, 3D and 4D around compared to others. The EXPERT has faster volume scans at 40 scans per second providing the best 4D live video available. Compare this to the 16 volume scans of the PRO. The equipment we use is always used in OB mode so the ultrasound is not higher or stronger than the recommended allowances set by the FDA and we follow current safe AIUM practices and methods.
